Spanish Internships

Students may choose to undertake an internship in the field of Spanish.
It may be taken as an elective credit toward the major/minor, or a student
majoring in Spanish may choose to have this type of experience in the
professional world in place of the Independent Study. An internship is an
opportunity to gain first-hand experience in the professional world, will allow
you to experience work in a Spanish professional environment, increase your
academic competencies in Spanish, and encourage your personal development. As a major in modern languages and literatures, you'll
utilize your learned Spanish skills in meaningful work such as research,
teaching, translating, assisting non-English speakers, and more. Some of our internships support community projects related
to social justice initiatives. You may propose an internship that fits your
needs and interest.
